Join Dr. Roland Sawatzky in the Discovery Room to learn about 'Keeping Time: The Art and Heritage of Mennonite Clocks'! We are excited to be a temporary home to this beautiful and engaging exhibition developed by the Kroeger Clocks Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Mennonite Heritage Village.
This exhibit features 15 Mennonite clocks, made between the late 1700s and early 1900s and transported to Manitoba by Mennonite immigrants over many decades. These beautiful timepieces were made in Mennonite workshops in Ukraine, and represent Mennonite migration stories, mechanical ingenuity, folk art, and family life.
Only at the Manitoba Museum until February 2024! Plan your visit today at ManitobaMuseum.ca
